For Students Entering as of Aug. 2007

Minor in French, German, Italian,
Portuguese, or Spanish

A minor in one modern language consists of a minimum of 12 credits in that language on the 300-level or above, earned according to the following guidelines:   A minimum of 6 credits must be earned in courses taught by MLL faculty (in residence or abroad). Out of the remaining 6 credits, a maximum of three may be transferred from another institution or from a study-abroad program not administered by UM. The remaining 3 or 6 credits may be fulfilled in the MLL department or in a UM-administered study-abroad program.  Students must earn a grade of C- or higher in every course counting toward the minor, and maintain a minimum overall average of 2.5 in the minor.

Minor in Modern Languages

The minor in two modern languages consists of at least 24 graded credit hours with 12 credits in one language on any level and 12 credits in any other language, 6 of which must be on the 300-level or above. For example: Arabic 101, 102, 201 and 202 along with Spanish 212, 214, 301, and 322 would constitute a Minor in Modern Languages; so would French 212, 214, 301, and 332 along with Italian 101, 102, 211 and 212. Many other combinations are possible. This minor must include 6 graded credits per language from the University of Miami. Students must earn a grade of C- or higher in every course counting toward the minor, and maintain a minimum overall average of 2.5 in the minor.
